In the year 1215 of the continental calendar, the afternoon of May 13, 335 years of the imperial calendar.

Anku Fortress, since the first attack of the Orcs on the 4th of this month, almost every day at the same time, the Orcs will send a certain number of soldiers to attack the outer defense line of Anku Fortress.

But their attacks are not fierce, and as long as they are repulsed, they will completely retreat.

In these days, the battle was generally dominated by the Empire's army, because there were many paladins from all over the Empire who stayed here to hone their will, and they did not even need military pay, and they brought their own food, and at the same time, they also carried well-equipped and experienced retainers.

Coupled with the fact that it is a positional defensive battle, this is simply the best battlefield for the paladin.

Therefore, the casualty ratio of the Orcs and the Imperial Army remained basically five to one these days.

However, compared to the 250,000 orc army, Anku Fortress only has less than 30,000 defenders, and if this continues to be consumed, it will be very passive to Anku Fortress.

Moreover, the orcs have to improve every day, after so many days of fighting, most of their troops are slowly becoming familiar with the battle with the paladin, in the last two days of battle, the imperial paladin is becoming more and more difficult to take advantage, and the casualty ratio is slowly shrinking.

The old Duke of Baoge knew that when this ratio was reduced to a certain point, such as three to one, it would be the beginning of a large-scale attack by the orcs.

Therefore, when the war began, the old duke did not sleep well for a day, especially when the orcs increased to 250,000, he could hardly even eat.

But fortunately, the Cullen Collar has already sent back the news that their reinforcements will arrive around the 25th of this month.

This is the best news the old duke has received these days...

The old Duke of Baoge believed that with the strong defense of Anku Fortress, coupled with the 30,000 defenders in his hands, and a steady stream of magician volunteers, even if the orcs attacked, it would be no problem to hold on until the 25th.

Relieved, Duke Bogue ate a large piece of steak and took a long nap, and when he woke up, the orc attack was just over, but his good mood faded instantly after seeing the battle damage report from Count Anse.

Because, today, the ratio of casualties between us and the enemy has been reduced to four to one!

As in every day, after the war, the old duke always liked to come to the belvedere at the highest point of the Anku fortress and look out at the line not far away...

As far as the eye could see, there was a vast battlefield that stretched for four or five miles, where the ground was full of wolf smoke, and fresh blood was added to the dry blackened bloodstains, and the smoke of the cremation of soldiers and the smell of swept over the battlefield where the two sides were facing each other.

At this moment, the soldiers on both sides, under the leadership of their respective officers, searched the battlefield for war supplies that could still be used, such as arrows, shields, steel swords, iron weapons, and so on.

...

A quarter past five in the afternoon.

Ten miles south of the Black Mountain Pass, there is a large camp of the Orc Army.

At this moment, in a newly built barracks next to the Chinese army camp, several orc priests were carefully sketching complex magic circles, and various valuable spell casting materials were placed in key positions.

When everything was ready, the six priests glanced at each other and at the same time drove the elemental power to pour into the inner circle two, and slowly, a dazzling white light began to flow slowly along the lines of the circle like mercury.

More than ten seconds later, when all the magic circle patterns were activated, and all the spell casting materials were dissolved into the magic circle like sugar cubes dissolved in water, the dazzling white light became even stronger, and when this strong light reached a certain node, it suddenly flashed, like a silent thunderbolt, and the next moment, a figure dressed as a magician appeared in the middle of the magic circle...

is a human magician!

The magician was cloaked in a gray cloak with a faint halo of purple magic from top to bottom.

As soon as the magician appeared, he first turned his head to look around, and then casually lowered his hood, revealing a young, pale cheek, and a pair of eyes that might have been a little dim because of his long stay in some kind of laboratory.

Then he smiled, and smiled very respectfully.

With the magician's smile, the aura of magic on his body dissipated into the air.

"The Great Chief has been waiting for you for a long time, human magician. Lan Dun, the captain of the Shikan Chief's personal army, coldly interrupted the magician's gaze as he looked around.

"I've had a bit of trouble, but it's been solved!" the human mage smiled humbly, speaking fluent orc language.

"I'm not interested in your troubles," said Blue Shield, "and if you can walk, follow my footsteps, and if not, I'll let my warriors carry you." ”

"I think I need help, after all, such a long teleportation would be unbearable even if Archduke Patved was resurrected. The human mage twitched his nose, the stench of the orcs was disgusting, and he really didn't want to get up close and personal with these orcs unless he had to.

...

In the camp of the Great Chief of Shikan, the arrival of the human mage interrupted the battle meeting that the orc generals at all levels had been engaged in.

When everyone glared at the human mage and left the tent with bad intentions, the mage cautiously walked to the center of the camp and bowed down and said, "Dear Great Chief Shikan, we have completed the established plan according to the agreement, and the Locke Empire has no possibility of reinforcing Anku Fortress in a short period of time, and now, it is time for you and your army to act." ”

The joy in Shi Kan's eyes flashed, "Don't worry, I will act according to the plan, for Anku Fortress, our orc clan is bound to win!"

"What I want to remind you is..."

"Honored guest," Shi Kan interrupted the magician, "you must be tired from such a long teleportation, I have prepared delicious food and a place to rest, and as for other things, you can't worry about it." ”

"Understood! understood!" the human mage smiled brightly and bowed out of the tent.

Shi Kan looked down at the mage who was leaving, and after half a sound, he turned his head to the dark corner barrier behind him and said, "Your Misha Kingdom has been hiding for more than two hundred years, and now, the time has come to take revenge on the Empire, this time, you will not be indifferent, right?"

As Shi Kan's words sounded, a tall figure dressed in animal skins stepped out of the darkness in the corner of the tent, this is an elf, but unlike the elves of the Narun Forest, this elf has a somewhat old appearance, which does not match the elves' eternal youth, immortality.

"Our Chief Consul, Lord Walter, has signed the order to send troops to the Hoko Islands, and I suspect that the Vanguard Legion may have landed on some unknown island in the western part of the Hoko Islands. ”

The elf's voice was a little low and hoarse, and there was no trace of the grace and beauty of an elf in him, only a silence like that of a dead man.
